I completed my Ph.D. at the Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society and the Free University of Berlin in 2023, where I examined political participation and citizenship norms in social media environments. After a 2-year postdoctoral position at the University of Mannheim, I moved to Bergen in September 2025. 

At the moment, I am conducting an ethnographic study in southern Germany on how the expansion of wind energy is experienced locally.

Academic service: Having served for several years as an Early-Career Scholars representative within the management team of the Political Communication Section of the European Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA), I am currently serving as chair of YECREA, the young scholars' network within ECREA.
